State government seeks increase in Assembly constituencies in Jharkhand

The Madhu Koda Government would bring a fresh proposal in the Budget session to increase assembly constituencies in Jharkhand to 150 from existing 81.

"The next Budget session will be held in February. And we have planned to pass a fresh proposal in the Assembly to increase the number of assembly constituencies," Chief Minister Madhu Koda said here on Saturday. The proposal would later be sent to the Centre for making necessary law to increase the assembly seats, he said.


The CM said, last year the previous Arjun Munda Government had passed a similar resolution from the assembly. Though it was sent to the Centre, the union government was yet to take any concrete steps over the proposal. "We want to send a reminder to the Centre by passing a fresh resolution in the assembly," Koda said.
